Split Harvesting
okla51mstarted grow question 4 years ago
In Split Harvesting, what about all the things youre told to do when harvesting, i.e. 48 hrs darkness, hanging upside down drying, ect. OR, is all of those things OLD WIVES TALES ?
If I cut the tall colas, do I treat them somewhat the same....Hang till dry, cont. to grow lower ?

Hi there!
When split harvesting you cant do those tricks but sure you can hang upside down to dry still and that is probably just convenient and it has nothing to do with the "thc from stems flowing to the buds" or anything else.
What comes to the darkness before harvest this is the only documented stuff I've found and it shows that it really does help with THC content but it raises ~2% so you don't have to worry that much maybe?
Do what best suits your need and I think you will be happy with the results

Hanging upside down helps to get rid of red spider mites as they will follow gravity and go up always. If you hang the other way, they will all move to your top bud and that will be really gross.
Also helps slowing down the dry, helpful if you live in a very dry place.
Drying in the dark definitely helps, as there are many papers showing THC in trichomes gets regenerated during the night and actually THC peaks during the night just before lights on.
Happy smokes!

Most of those things are old wives tales or, at least, have little to no evidence to show they work. Hanging upside down is just convenient and makes a prettier bud compared to a wire rack. Even flushing isn't shown to accomplish anything positive.
Do your split harvest but don't worry about these other things. Hang upside down is a dark space with a temp of 70°F or so and 45-55% RH.

Drying.Hi all!
I currently have 2 plants growing. 1 of them has clearly bloomed faster and I will have to harvest it earlier.
Because I have only one grow box and I don't know where to dry it. Can I put them somewhere for two weeks to wait for the 2nd one?
Could u tell me what to do?

How long after the last flush, do you wait until you chop your plant?
Do you let it dry out so the pot is nice and light before you harvest? Or is a little moisture left in the soil ok? Did last flush 48 hrs ago and I'm itching to chop her down, but still slightly damp soil

I have two drying options for my one plant. Wine fridge with perfect temp or closet with perfect humidity. Which is best?Should I dry my one plant in a wine fridge with a compressor that causes the humidity to fluctuate between 50-70% but can be set to a perfect 60f, or should I dry in a closet with perfect 60% humidity but temp at a steady 74f with no way to lower it? Perfect humidity or temp? ThxOther. Harvest - Drying

What do you all think?What do you all think?
The harvest will be in a few weeks, in Germany only 50g is allowed dry
Do you think it will be more or less?
I know it will be hard to tell from a picture how much dry remains, but I hope there are some estimates.

Edible out of fresh harvestHi, I'm not very much into smoking weed, more like eating edibles. In cause of financial and space problems, my plan is to make edibles stait out of the harvest or after the drying. My question is: Does the curing/fermentation effects the potency or effect of the weed?Buds. Other
